What is USAID and why Trump and Elon Musk want to shut it down? Explained in 10 points

^{Published on 2025-02-03 10:40:41 - MSN}

Elon Musk has said the US government is planning to shut down US Agency for International Development (USAID)
a decades' old organisation responsible for carrying out foreign aid programmes around the world.

The article from MSN discusses the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), an independent agency of the U.S. government that provides economic development and humanitarian aid worldwide. Here are the key points:

Purpose: USAID was established in 1961 to promote global stability, security, and prosperity by aiding economic growth, agriculture, trade, health, democracy, and conflict prevention.

Criticism from Trump and Musk: Former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have criticized USAID. Trump has accused it of being a tool for "globalists" and has suggested redirecting its funds to domestic issues like border security. Musk has echoed these sentiments, questioning the effectiveness and necessity of foreign aid.

Funding: USAID's budget is significant, with billions allocated annually for various programs. Critics argue this money could be better spent at home.

Impact: Despite criticism, USAID has been credited with numerous successes, including reducing global poverty, improving health outcomes, and supporting democratic institutions.

Political Motivation: The push to dismantle or reduce USAID's role is seen by some as politically motivated, aiming to appeal to voters who prioritize domestic spending over foreign aid.

Global Perception: The move to cut USAID could affect America's image as a global leader in humanitarian efforts, potentially impacting international relations.

Future: There's an ongoing debate about the future of USAID, with some advocating for its reform rather than abolition, focusing on efficiency and alignment with U.S. strategic interests.
